Operational Theory
This printer makes a color image by overlapping each color toner in
dot units and fusing them to the paper. The process is divided into
two steps. The first step is the electrophotographic process which
forms the image on the PC. The second step consists of Feeding,
Transferring, Fusing which feeds the paper, transfers the image to
the paper and fuses the toner.
Electrophotographic Process
As the photoconductor drum rotates it is electrically charged, the
image is exposed to the PC drum, the image is developed with toner,
the image is transferred to the paper, and the PC drum is cleaned.
